PRIVATE JUSTIN PARKHILL

Private Justin Parkhill answers Travis from Washington, Missouri who asks; "How demanding is the first weeks of basic training?"

Hi, I'm Justin Parkhill from Fresno, California, I'm here at Fort Benning for basic training and Travis from Washington, Missouri is asking; "How demanding is the first weeks of basic training?"

Well the first 3-weeks are called red phase. They are pretty much all the same, they are physically demanding, very emotionally demanding. You'll hear a lot of screaming, you'll do a lot of PT you don't want to do, you'll get smoked a lot. It'll basically suck for 3-weeks so it'll probably be the worst 3-weeks ever. But after that it all gets good after that.
